The operative word is value. When we value something we place a value on it. When I invest in a pet, I assign a value to it just as my car or computer have a value assigned to them. In my case, the value I assign to the pet is the price I paid for it.

Perhaps in your case you assign more value based on emotions or feelings, but I do not.

To me, when I invest in something and the upkeep of that investment exceeds the cost of the actual investment, I don't keep it. This holds true regardless of whether it's a pet, a car, a computer, or a television.
